A Fierce Little Tragedy: Thought, Passion, and Self-Formation in the Philosophy Classroom

by Herman Stark

The book explores, in novel form, what can happen to us, whether professor or student, as a result of the philosophical classroom. The approach is to consider the classroom as a unique happening of philosophy, different than reporting theories or doing research, through which a distinctive mode of philosophical formation can occur.
